"A cross between a Texas barbecue joint and an East Coast deli, Windsor Park’s Mum Foods smokes its own brisket, pastrami, and turkey, giving each sandwich serious depth. Go simple with egg salad or smoked chicken salad, or go big with the Rachel, which is piled high with slaw, Swiss, and Russian dressing. This deli started at farmers’ markets and hasn’t lost its homegrown roots since moving to its own brick-and-mortar, earning a Michelin recommendation in 2024. Deliveries are offered through DoorDash, Grubhub, Seamless, or Toast Local are available." - Darcie Duttweiler
